Miss: Better Living Through Crime
Author(s): Philippe Thirault

The tale of two very unlikely partners in crime set in New York City's Roaring Twenties.

Nola is a poor white girl living on the streets who has learned to survive by any means necessary. Slim is a black pimp with a shady history, constantly looking over his shoulder in fear of his own past. When their options run out and their paths cross, Nola and Slim forge a partnership as hired killers. Miss: Better Living Through Crime is a story about what it takes two people to survive when all they have is a gun and each other.

Review(s):
"The beautifully integrated logic of this kind of fictional history is just one example of the layering of character and context that gives the book a literary depth....This is not a typical noir tale of morally high-contrast black and white people, but one of overriding moral ambiguity. As with all good love stories, however, it's force of character that holds the book together."
